New York Military Affairs Symposium

Inter-University Seminar on Armed Forces and Society

Association for the Study of African American Life and History

Graduate Courses Taught

Civil-Military Relations and National Security (SEC 6310)

The study of civil-military relations is a crucial aspect of security studies. It examines the

proper relationship between the military, the government, and society. This course will

examine civil-military relations in its broader context to include such issues as civilian

control of the military, changing roles for the military, military service, interagency

cooperation, military effectiveness, and operational challenges. Throughout, the course

will consider the complex relationship between policy, politics, and society.

Security Issues in Africa (SEC 6341)

This course examines political, military and social issues of the states of Sub-Saharan

Africa. The focus of the course is on the impact these issues have on world politics and

particularly US national security interests in that region. The course addresses issues of

the colonial legacy, the rise of African nationalism and the emergence of independent

Africa. It also addresses many of the difficulties of the post-colonial legacy. Finally, the

course turns to the place of sub-Saharan Africa in Washington’s national security policy

and potential outcomes for the future.

Research: Security Issues in Africa II (SEC 6391)

While Security Issues in Africa I focuses on issues of conflict and tension, this course is

an introduction to the political economy of Sub-Saharan Africa. Students will explore the

theory and practice of how economic motives affect political decisions and how most

political decisions have economic repercussions, both domestically and in Africa. This

course reviews and explores the key themes of Africa’s contemporary political economy

and its deep historical bases. In doing so, the course concentrates on Africa’s relationship

with the global political economy and raises questions about the nature of state action in

African countries.

Introduction to Security Studies (SEC 6302)

This is a basic introduction to the field of security studies. This course will help students

examine the recent history of security studies. Students will learn about many of the

theoretical approaches and debates relating to world politics. Studies will include the

origination and causes of conflict, deterrence and coercion (in both theory and practice),

diplomacy and international dynamics, and an examination of the growing list of

transnational issues. The course deals with many of the theoretical works in the field as

well as numerous case studies that deal with the national security issues that impact

current world politics and international security.

Grand Strategy and National Security (SEC 6309)

This course gives students key insights into the basic elements of grand strategy and how

they relate to security studies. The course gives students a unique baseline of knowledge

18

that will be important as they move into other aspects of the security studies program.

Key issues that will be addressed in detail include: the national security decision-making

process—particularly as it relates to issues of international and homeland security; civil-

military relations as applicable in the development of strategy and statecraft; an analysis

of how nation-states develop military operational capabilities and readiness; and the

differing strategies for international conflict, including both conventional and

unconventional warfare.

Globalization and International Security (SEC 6312)

This course examines how globalization affects the policies, economies, societies and

militaries of both state and non-state actors on the regional and world stages. While

globalization has had many benefits since the end of World War II, it has also created

“haves and have nots,” radical religious and political ideologies, and ethnic conflict in

regions affecting the national security of the developed world. This course conducts

important studies that examine how the interconnected world creates differing realities

for various nation-states and regions, and what the potential is for future conflict.

Peacekeeping and Stability Operations (SEC 6316)

Stability and peace operations have become an integral part of US foreign and military

policy. This course analyzes several concepts, including nation building, stabilization and

reconstruction. It also examines the roles of various groups that have become important

to these types of operations in the 21st century. These groups include nongovernmental,

intergovernmental and governmental organizations. The course examines the roles and

missions of the many new players who have become integral to stability and

peacekeeping operations.

Human Rights and National Security (SEC 6320)

This course gives students a clear understanding of what constitutes human rights. The

course also explores why human rights and human security have become such major

players in policy, as well as an important aspect of the work that non-governmental

organizations (NGOs) and other non-state actors conduct. Of particular importance to this

course is conducting an analysis of the role of civil society (human rights NGOs, church

groups, and grassroots organizations). The course also features important writings by

practitioners and experts in the field.

Energy Security Studies (SEC 6321)

This course examines the relatively new concept of the importance of the relationship

between energy and security in the 21st century. The course conducts analysis of

important policy challenges that include, but are not limited to, economic, geopolitical

and environmental issues. The United States and its key allies (not to mention its

competitors, such as China) have huge concerns about vulnerability to disruptions in

supply, price volatility and environmental degradation. US national security interests can

also potentially be at peril if such issues as unequal access to energy sources and

instability in key regions that are sources for energy arise.

19

Transnational Issues and National Security (SEC 6322)

With the advent of more societies around the world and more open trade, a variety of

transnational issues have become important for American national security. The role of

NGOs in dealing with a variety of issues, the role of the many powerful transnational

corporations, and transnational crime have changed how nation-states deal with both state

and non-state actors. This course examines the key transnational issues that are important

for US policy, and analyzes a series of case studies that deal with important issues, such

as transnational crime, transnational corporations and other issues that cross borders

between states and regions.

Security Issues in Asia (SEC 6327)

This course covers contemporary regional issues, such as the influence of Japan, India,

Korea and China on regional and global affairs, with a particular focus on regional

security concerns. The focus of this course is on the changing dynamics of contemporary

international security in Asia. This course will include several case studies that are

important to understanding regional security in Asia. These case studies will include, but

not be limited to, the ongoing and hotly-debated military rise of China and its

implications for the region and the world; the nuclear stand-off on the Korean peninsula;

contemporary security issues in Southeast Asia; the India-Pakistan conflict; and

transnational security issues in Asia.

Undergraduate Courses Taught

World Cultures (CUL 2323)

This course introduces students to the importance of culture around the world. It

familiarizes students with cultures in different regions, including but not limited to

Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East, and their historical, contextual,

and cultural differences. It introduces basic concepts related to culture and illustrates their

relevance through case studies on how culture has impacted the world. Among the

questions explored are how culture shapes political systems, economic development,

internal security, group conflict, and religious influence in each region. By the end of the

class the student should have an appreciation of the multi-dimensional character of

different global cultures and how they shape overall political, social and economic

development.

Cultural Competency and Contemporary Security Issues

framework that explain interactions within the region and the international arena.

Introduction to Cultural Competence:

Making Sense of the World I (CUL 3310)

This course serves as an introduction to various analytical approaches for understanding

the dynamics of global interaction. Students will explore the variety of “worlds” made

visible through the lens of theory. The course aims to foster critical thinking about how

20

conceptual tools shape our understanding of the world and about attempted solutions to

global problems.

Cultural Competence: Making Sense of the World II (CUL 3312)

This course is a continuation of CUL 3310 that extends its analysis of cultural diversity in

the world, how culture relates to specific security issues, including the historical

relationships between military power and politics, and how cultural understanding is

essential in influencing outcomes in a variety of security contexts.

Contemporary Security Issues in World Politics (CCSS 3315)

This course focuses on current major issues with an international dimension and global

impact, and with salience for the emerging patterns of world politics. While engaging in

critical analysis of current issues, it examines the broader conceptual context and analytic

framework that explain interactions among nations.

American Government Politics and National Security (CCSS 3317)

This course introduces students to the study of politics and government and examines the

basic ideological, structural, and procedural choices faced by any political system.

Students study the foundations and traditions of American democracy and the structure,

decision processes, and policy outcomes, especially defense policy outputs, of the

American political system. Students also examine current policy issues that affect the

military.

Politics and Culture of Latin America (CCSS 3325)

This course examines the historic, cultural, economic, social, and geographic traits that

distinguish this region and shape its domestic political processes and interstate relations.

Students explore selected Latin American political systems in detail. Students analyze

issues such as political stability, civil-military relations, and democratization along with

politico-economic concerns, such as developmental strategies, debt relief, and trade

relations. The course also covers contemporary regional issues, such as democratization,

arms control, and regional integration, with a particular emphasis on security concerns.

Comparative Security Policy and Political Culture (CCSS 4150)

Students study the security policies and policy-making processes of various world

regions as well as the national and regional implications of both traditional and non-

traditional security issues. The course examines the relationship between civilian

authorities and the military establishment and the implications for governance.

Cultural Competency and Contemporary Security Issues

in Latin America (CCSS 4327)

This course focuses on current major issues within the Latin American region. While

engaging in critical analysis of current issues, it examines the broader conceptual context

and analytic framework that explain interactions within the region and the international

This course examines the historic, cultural, economic, social and geographic traits that

distinguish this region and shape its domestic political processes and interstate relations.

Students will critically compare the politics, governments and orientations of European

states and important regional powers. The course will also cover contemporary regional

issues, such as democratization, arms control and regional integration, with a particular

emphasis on security concerns.
